The new academic session for the students of classes VI to IX in Uttarakhand would commence from April 15. In an order directed to Director General (DG) of school education, the education secretary, R Meenakshi Sundaram said on Friday that the academic session 2021-22 should start from April 15. He said that in view of the future of the students and the fact that the studies of the students were hampered by the pandemic of Covid-19, the home examination of the students of classes VI to IX should be completed before March 14.
The order of the secretary follows the directive of the education minister Arvind Pandey to start the new session from April 15. It also clears confusion in the department as internal examinations of the students of classes VI to IX in the government and aided schools of the session 2020-21 were slated from April 20. These examinations would now be held before April 14.
